I’m Helen, a freelance marketing manager based in West Yorkshire. Growing up in a family business taught me how much time, energy and heart goes into running an SME, and it’s shaped the way I work today: practical, flexible and genuinely part of your team.
I don’t just “do marketing” - I understand how businesses operate and what they need to move forward. I work with businesses across Keighley, Bradford, Skipton and Ilkley, and I also support clients remotely across the UK. With over 20 years’ experience spanning corporate blue‑chip organisations, technical B2B companies and entrepreneurial SMEs, I bring a commercial, hands‑on approach to every project.
What sets me apart from many marketing managers is the breadth of experience I bring. I've worked across sales, operations and marketing in a broad range of industries, which means I understand the day to day challenges businesses face.
My career has taken me into sectors including retail, manufacturing, construction services, facilities services and place-based community interest companies. That variety means I can think strategically AND roll my sleeves up to get things done.
I'm comfortable with complex products, technical language, B2B marketing and stakeholder-heavy environments - the kind of settings where clear communication and practical delivery really matter.
Whether you're building your marketing from scratch or need extra capacity when your team is stretched, I can help.
Over the years I've built up broad marketing experience from brand identity, new product launches and campaigns, to websites, social media, copywriting and graphic design. I'm at my best when the brief is creative, or when a product or service needs skill to make it click for your customers.
I provide marketing support to businesses across West Yorkshire, including Keighley, Bradford, Skipton, Ilkley, Bingley and the surrounding areas. Whether you need ongoing marketing support or help with a specific project, I’m close enough to work alongside your team and can support businesses across the UK remotely - giving you flexible, reliable marketing expertise wherever you are.
